Any GM candidate is going to inquire as to the current state of the team, meaning salary cap situations, pending free agents and salaries on the books.

Gamble, or any of the other candidates can look at all the information made available by Woody's staff and all them would come to the conclusion that 2013 will be a limited opportunity to turn over the roster. It also doesn't take a PHD to realize that some very bad contracts will be off the books March 1, 2014 giving the Jets a TON of cap space.

This will allow ANY potential candidate the opportunity to come in with no pressure to win now and they can build up all of their chips for a MAJOR move in 2014.

Looking at all of the openings for GMs, it looks like the Jags are the only other team talking with Gamble & Caldwell (as of now) and I haven't heard Ross's name come up in any other teams short list.

I think that is promising. Even if Gamble goes to Jax, I think we will get a great GM.

WTF is your point dbag, other than you have to have a smarmy response to everybody you have a problem with on the Internet.

The report came out that Polian tried selling Gambe on the Jets job, it's obvious he's interested or he wouldn't have agreed to do the interview, there is nothing to argue here, the media *******s tried painting doom and gloom about the jets job and as usual, they are clueless. STFU already.

No it's not common sense. Because you're assuming that every GM will have a problem with giving Rex another year.

We've seen coaches get 1 last year from new GM's before getting the axe. Holmgren gave Mangini another shot. Chicago's GM gave Lovie Smith another shot. Pittsburgh's GM kept Cowher

You're assuming that every candidate will have a problem with Woody saying "You can be our GM, but you have to keep Rex for 1 more year". Some might, but not everyone will. Every person is differen.t

You know what they say about assuming...

Oh boy... is this really hard to understand? I am not assuming EVERY candidate will have a problem with not being able to pick their own coach. I am saying SOME, perhaps MANY, will. Meaning you are unnecessarily limiting your pool of candidates.

That's it. That's all I'm saying. If Woody truly is telling these guys, "hey, I would prefer to keep Rex, but that decision will be up to you" then I have no problem with this. But that is not how it appears.

The fact that the Jets are not allowing Rex to address the media makes me think Woody is going to allow the new GM to decide his fate.

And if said G.M. decides that Rex's time here is over, he will be my new favorite G.M. in this organization's history. If said G.M. keeps him, well, we would have been better off sticking with Tannenbaum for another year.

What if he fires Rex after the year?

Will he become your favorite GM then?

The Jets NEW GM would be my favorite if he did a BETTER Job at building this team up THE RIGHT WAY in becoming a Contender year-in and year-out.

And THAT is why you keep Rex as HC for 1 more year because the new HC will have a better situation in 2014 than if he came here in 2013 in a serious rebuilding year and be tainted by that year.
